Hamburg: Gangster Sigi (Friedrich Schütter) is famous for throwing
sex-parties for the very rich, and to ensure a steady supply of pretty
girls, he uses his friend, gynocologist Dr Klaus Diffring (Horst Naumann),
who has a talent to persuade girls to come to the orgies, then mixes
something into their drinks, ...
However, one of the regulars at these parties, Margot (Christiane
Rücker) has a tendency of taking snapshots of the parties and then,
together with her boyfriend Helmut (Michael Conti) she blackmails those in
the photos. When Sigi and Dr Klaus find that out, they want to teach her a
lesson, but accidently they kill her ... but unfortunately without winding
the negatives of Margot's photos (they are with Helmut).
In the meantime, Margot's sailor boyfriend Hein (Fritz Wepper) is on
shoreleave and he's trying to track her down, only to find out that she
has become quite a slut. Unfortunately, only hours before her death he
showed up at her appartment and was heard fighting with her ... and now,
through no fault of his own, he finds himself on the run from the police
for the murder of Margot, and the only people willing and able to help him
are Karin (Marianne Hoffmann), a blonde he has just met a few days ago,
and Dr Jan Diffring (Curd Jürgens), Dr Klaus' brother but a saint of a
Doctor beause he is the only one who cares for the prostitutes of
St.Pauli, Hamburg's red light district and provides free treatment for the
poor.And somehow he sees right into the heart of Hein and knows he is good
... and agrees to find out for him who the real killer is.
Eventually, Dr Jan's trail leads him to his brother, and to an orgy
aboard a yacht, where he saves two women from being abused, and
eventually, Dr Klaus finds himself cornered, and when his associate Sigi
refuses to save him, instead plans to amke a clean getaway with Dr Klaus'
pretty assistant Gerda (Monika Zinnenberg), accomplice and lover, Dr Klaus
shoots them both.
Eventually, Sigi's right-hand man Harry (Peter Bach), who has no idea
that Sigi is already dead, takes Dr Jan, Hein and Karin captive and
tortures them because he thinks one of them has the negatives of the
compromising photos (they don't), But Dr Jan's best friend Nippes (Heinz
Reincke) has long organized an angry mob made up from those grateful to Dr
Jan to free him and his friends and hand out Harry and his friends their
just desserts - and amidst all the chaos, Dr Klaus is allowed to die a
hero's death ...
Cliché-ridden and naive but at the same time absolutely charming late
1960's German sex-and-cirme drama. It would probably be a mistake to look
for realism or even plausibility in films like these, and to say that the
plot is unnecessarily convoluted would be a blunt understatement, but
beneath all its shortcomings (or maybe because of them) the film is highly
entertaining, if first and foremost as an amusing peice of sex-nostalgia
from a bygone era.
